Hall of Fame 2022

The American Association Hall of Fame celebrates the league’s most influential figures—players, managers, executives, and contributors—whose achievements and dedication have left a lasting mark on the game. Honoring more than just on-field success, the Hall of Fame recognizes individuals whose excellence, leadership, and long-term contributions have shaped the legacy of the American Association and elevated the league for generations to come.

Miles Wolff blazed the trail for hundreds of professional baseball teams across North America.

Wolff is considered the “Godfather of Independent Baseball” after resurrecting the Northern League as a non-affiliated circuit in 1993. In addition to serving as Commissioner of the American Association from 2006 to 2019, he also served in that role for the Northern League (1993-2002), the Central League (2002-2005), the Northeast League (2003-2004) and the Can-Am League (2005-2018). Wolff is also the former owner of the Durham Bulls, the Quebec Capitales, the Burlington Royals, and ten other minor league, independent, and summer collegiate teams. He is the former publisher and owner of Baseball America, and Total Baseball named him among the top 100 individuals in the history of baseball.
